Ukrainian defender of English "Bournemouth" Ilya Zabarnyy spent 90 minutes of game time in his team in the home match of the first round of the championship of England against "West Ham", which was held on 12 August and ended in a 1:1 draw.
British journalists appreciated the actions of the Ukrainian defender, who managed to contain the Jamaican forward "Hammers" Michael Antonio. At the same time, opinions about Ilya's game in the British press differed.
Vavel - 6.5/10
"Solid performance from the young Ukrainian. Dealing with one of the Premier League's strongest strikers in physical duels is no small feat, and Zabarnyy succeeded in containing him."
Pundit Feed - 6/10
"Lost more than half of ground and aerial duels and also lost the ball 19 times."
Recall, Zabarnyy moved to Bournemouth from Dynamo Kyiv in January for 22.7 million euros and played six matches for the Englishmen, but did not mark any productive actions.
